BACKGROUND In 2012, the European Commission published a strategic document called ‘A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Water Resources’ which aimed to tackle the obstacles which hamper action to safeguard Europe’s water resources. The report emphasised key themes which included improving land use, addressing water pollution, increasing water efficiency and resilience, and improving governance by those involved in managing water resources. The Blueprint states that the most widespread pressure on ecological status in the EU originate from changes to water bodies due, for example, to dams for hydropower and navigation or draining land for agriculture and it identifies hydro- morphological pressures and alleviation of physical barriers as key issues. LIFE projects support the management of water resources in the EU and the implementation of water policy, notably the EU Water Framework Directive, by addressing a wide range of issues including among others river basin management and river restoration. River restoration refers to a large variety of ecological, physical, spatial and management measures and practices. These are aimed

  • Marble from the Lahn
    Marble from the Lahn A historical project on the quarrying of stone Quarrying is also part of mining. Stones, chalk, sand and gravel may at first glance seem less valuable, and quarries less interesting. However, these materials were and still are an essential component of our civilization. There would be no flour without millstones, no pottery without clay, no castles without stones, and no modern roads without road metal. This is why the department of mining history also deals with this important industry. Following on from the work of Christoph Bartels (slate villages) and Meinrad Pohl (millstones, tuff and trass from the volcanic eastern Eifel region), the plan is to investigate a further example from the industry within the framework of a dissertation project. This time the focus is on a type of stone which was used for building and decoration, the so-called “Nassau marble” or “Lahn marble”. From a geologist’s point of view this is a cuttable, polishable limestone, formed about 380 million years ago from a tropical reef. The deposits are part of the Rhenish Massif (Rheinisches Schiefergebirge) and extend over a strip approx. 60 km long on both sides of the Lahn. “Lahn marble” was quarried and processed from the 16th century (if not earlier) until the 1970s. Evidence of a highly developed “Lahn marble” industry can be found in a multitude of churches and palaces, public and private buildings, town squares and facades. The spectrum ranges from the mighty tombstones in the Mainz cathedral to the splendid Baroque staircase of the Würzburg Residenz and the sumptuous decoration of some of Wiesbaden’s villas and hotels.

Flowing south-east for 2,700 kilometres from eastern Turkey to the Persian Gulf, it supports over 60 million people and – along with the Tigris, with which it runs almost in parallel – has a rich history of sustaining civilization on the Mesopotamian plains. This vast water resource is in crisis. Degradation of the river from over-exploitation, population growth, pollution and other factors has been a serious problem for many years. Now war and violent upheaval in Syria and Iraq are worsening the situation: threatening key infrastructure and preventing policy cooperation. Without urgent attention, stresses on the river’s resources will add to the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis created by the conflict. In the longer term, a vision for cross-border coordination is essential if the river is to retain its vital role in the region.
